The FPA provides support group meetings where you can connect with others who know what you are going through. Support Groups are led by trained volunteers and are offered FREE of charge to anyone living with facial pain, their family members or loved ones.
Find a group in your area, or in your area of interest, from the list below. Or jump to the list of upcoming meetings.
Contact the listed Support Group leader for more information or a link to their next meeting.
Many Support Groups meet virtually by Zoom making it possible for you to join from anywhere. However, leaders and participants in a geographic area will have firsthand experience with services in that area.
Support Group Leaders, with input from the group, may invite speakers on various topics related to facial pain. Other meetings are reserved for ‘caring and sharing’ allowing participants to openly discuss topics of interest to them.
The FPA welcomes volunteers from varied backgrounds, life experiences, and medical histories. We are committed to making sure you have everything you need to be successful including training, continuing education, and networking opportunities.
A note about international groups: International contacts, with the exception of Brazil, are not official FPA Support Groups. The FPA only supervises and supports official FPA Support Groups. The contact information provided is intended as a starting point in your area.
